MojoPac portable PC software for iPod
RingCube's new MojoPac software lets you use any USB 2.0 compatible portable gadget to store your Windows XP computer's profile--such as Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites and language settings--as well as applications and files. Among those devices are iPods (though not iPod Shuffles) and several other portable media players, USB thumb drives, and a few cell phones.Copy your desired apps, files, and other settings onto your iPod or other supported device using MojoPac's PC software. Connect your device via USB to another computer, such as a PC in a hotel's business center. MojoPac software automatically launches on the borrowed computer, giving you access to the files and data you've stored on your gadget. When you're done, log out of MojoPac and eject the USB device properly, by clicking on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in your system tray. Your files, apps, and settings disappear from the borrowed computer, as if you'd never.
Other similar software includes Lexar and U3. Read "Take Your PC on a Thumb Drive" for more on Lexar's PowerToGo. For info on U3 products, read "U3: Portable Programs on a USB Drive."
The difference is that MojoPac lets you run any Windows XP application directly off the USB device. By comparison, applications must be U3-compliant to be run from a U3-compatible device.
MojoPac costs $30. It's available for a 30-day free trial.

True, true; but MojoPak requires the installation of drivers (thus administrative privileges) and thus is not a portable operating system - I can only use it on system I own!! Also, it is a split environment; either you are in the Mojo environment or the Host environment. PowerToGo / Ceedo does not do everything but it is a shared environment that does not required administrative privileges. It works not only on XP/2000 but Vista as well. I have looked at all 3 (and others) and so far, it gets my vote.
People should read this.
